Clip of the Day: Russian Roulette for the Hip-Hop Soul

10/23/06, 5:22 pm EST

In America, if you grow up in a little Podunk town with nothing to do, chances are you end up pregnant or acquire a forty-Zima-a-day habit. Or both. In Russia, you do back-flips off abandoned buildings and perform other death-defying guerrilla acrobatics to the beat of ultra-cool French hip-hop. Can you say hand-stand push-ups? Jesus H. Must be the borscht. (Big ups to Uncle Roy for hipping us to this bad boy!!)

I’m serious here – this is the most amazing thing I have ever seen! I’m thinking this kid has a future as either an olympic gymnast, circus acrobat, or as I would suggest most needed, super-hero crime fighter. Puts that pansy Tobie Maguire to shame. Sign this kid up for the next spider man movie. Now…back to my drinking and impregnating.

This is cool, but this stuff has been around for a while. Do a search for stunt, extreme, or freestyle running or walking and you’ll find similar stuff. This guy is definately one of the best you’ll find though, but it’s ultimately not all that unique.

I no doubt saw this two years ago, and its just now getting around to you guys?

Good stuff. It’s not French hip hop, though, It’s Clubbed To Death, by the lovely brit Rob Dougan. A mix of this is on the Matrix soundtrack.

Now imagine your local police trying to chase this guy down.

I saw this movie legit a complete year ago.

Ooh, Parkour, how cutting edge.

Ah, this is Le Parkour, it’s a legitimate sport. A French sport and they’ve been doing it a little longer than Russian you-tubers.
And that isn’t hip-hop, or french, it’s Trip Hop to be generous but basically it’s dance music, made by Rob Dougan, an Australian (and it was recorded in 95).
This article is so out of touch I think it may have been written by one of the actual rolling stones.
